Wijekoon, Champa P., Singer, Stacy D., Weselake, Randall J., Petrie, James R., Singh, Surinder, Jayawardhane, Kethmi N., Shah, Saleh, Chen, Guanqun, Eastmond, Peter J., Acharya, Surya N.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifoila Scop.) are two key forage legumes for the western Canadian cattle industry. Despite the high protein content, drawbacks to their use exists, including inefficient protein digestibility and energy use efficiency in the ruminant...

The apparent bottleneck in the accumulation of oil during seed development in some oleaginous plant species is the formation of triacylglycerol (TAG) by the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1,2- diacylglycerol catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20). Improving DGAT...
